NEW ZR-1 OWNER...A SWEET DAY!!
I did it !!!
A virgin no more (almost)!! Just have to bring it North to the Cold!! I purchased One Admiral Blue/Grey 1995 ZR-1 number #438 from Maryland (the last AB). The owner had it for 12 years and put approximately 14,000 miles on it. It is a dream come true for me!! I owned a 1989 L98 many years ago and absolutely loved the car. Unfortunately I was not able to purchase a ZR-1 in the day, but, I promised myself someday… Someday is now here!! I must thank Larry Karlo from the Vette Net who found the car. I gave Larry some parameters I was looking for and like a bloodhound on that fall hunt he captured theeee car. I want to thank Ryan (aka Flyin Ryan) for the incredible support and advice he has given me. He is the one who put me onto Larry. I did not know Ryan previously but I met him via Email on the ZR-1 Registry, and when we relocated to the Edmonton area I made his acquaintance. He pulled no stops in opening his doors and offering complete assistance, experience, and advice in chasing my dream...My family and I are in the middle of moving into our ‘new’ house which tends to complicate…shall I say the little things, so with that, Ryan even has offered his place of business as the staging area when the “Z†comes North!! And even when I was in the process of purchasing the car, I had two ZR-1 owners, Jim QB93Z, and David Johnson offer to inspect the car for me, WOW!!! The mystique of the ZR-1 is breathtaking, only few understand and enjoy, but it is these few, the owners that define what true camaraderie is. It is an honour!! Doug |

Congratulations! Welcome to the Brotherhood of the Beast. Having the last Admiral Blue is pretty cool.
Post some pictures when you get it shined up. Hope to see you at some ZR-1 NetRegistry events. Jim |
